Subcommittee E06.21 on Serviceability , part of ASTM International Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings , is currently working on several proposed new standards. These include ASTM WK32076 , Guide for Installation of Insulating Concrete Forms, and ASTM WK32398 , Test Method for Measuring Floor Flatness and Pavement Smoothness Using a Straightedge., Installation of Insulating Concrete Forms, While ASTM E2634 , Specification for Flat Wall Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) Systems, serves the function for material compliance in the ICF industry, the next most critical function is proper installation of ICF systems. In order to facilitate the installation function, E06.21 is developing ASTM WK32076 , Guide for Installation of Insulating Concrete Forms. “Once approved, ASTM WK32076 will…, Flatness of Floors/Smoothness of Pavements, A proposed new standard for measuring floor flatness will combine the traditional manual straightedge approach with more recent data collection techniques such as F-numbers ( ASTM E1155 , Test Method for Determining FF Floor Flatness and FL Floor Levelness Number) and the Waviness Index ( ASTM E1486 , Test Method for Determining Floor Tolerances Using Waviness, Wheel Path and Levelness Criteria…
